Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Denatured ethanol fuel is a polar solvent, which is soluble in water. A

Polar solvent is a compound with a charge separation in chemical bonds, such as alcohol, most acids, or ammonia. These have affinity with water and will dissolve easily. Denatured fuel ethanol has a flash point of -5 ° F and a vapor density of 1.5, indicating that it is heavier than air.

Consequently, ethanol vapors do not rise, similar to the gasoline vapors they are looking for lower altitudes. The specific gravity of denatured fuel ethanol is 0.79, which indicates that it is lighter than water and has a self-ignition temperature of 709 ° F and a boiling point of 165-175 ° F. Like gasoline, the most denatured fuel, the greatest danger of ethanol as an engine fuel component is its flammability.

It has a wider flammable range than gasoline (LEL is 3% and UEL is 19%).

For each of the following units and concentration values, mention if they are parts per million (ppm), parts per billion (ppb) o

arsen [322]

Answer:

a) ppm

b) ppm

c) ppb

d) ppt

e) ppb

Explanation:

a) You know that 1000 g are 1 kg, and 1000 kg are 1 ton, so (1000)*(1000) g are 1 ton, so 1,000,000 grams are one ton.

b) 1000 mg are 1 g, and 1000 g are 1 liter, so 1,000,000 grams are one liter.

c) You know that 1000 ug are 1 mg, so with the b), we just need to multiply the answer by 1000, so 1,000,000,000 ug are 1 liter.

d) The same as c, 1000 ng are 1 mg. So we are talkinf of ppt.

e) 1000 mg are 1 g. And 1000 g are 1 kg, then 1000 kg are one ton. So 1,000,000,000 mg are one ton.

Which choice represents a pair of resonance structures? Note that lone pairs have been omitted for clarity. View Available Hint(

stepladder [879]

Answer:

A. O=C=O and O≡C−O

Explanation:

Resonance:

When the electron distribution on the molecule become uneven like one molecule have more electron compare to other.Resonance occurs due to overlap of the orbitals.When electron flow through pi system then resonance occurs.

So the option A is correct.

A. O=C=O and O≡C−O

You have 0.5 L of air at 203 k in an expandable container at constant pressure. You heat the container to 273 k. What is the vol

Jobisdone [24]

You can use P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 but since pressure is constant is becomes V1/T1=V2/T2

V1=0.5 L
T1=203 K
T2=273 K
V2=unknown

0.5L/203 = V2/273
V2= 0.67 L so C

Hope this helps :)
